Advancing training in video-mediated interpreting for asylum and refugee settings: Integrating minimum requirements and research-based approaches
Video-mediated interpreting (VMI) can enhance access to language support in asylum reception, but its success relies on context-sensitive guidelines and training. This paper introduces a VMI training framework developed through the European Project EU-WEBPSI, which consolidates research and professional standards into minimum requirements for asylum and refugee contexts. Addressing technical, interactional, and ethical dimensions, it clarifies sh…
Investigating cognitive and interpersonal factors in hybrid human-AI practices: An empirical exploration of interlingual respeaking
This article investigates interlingual respeaking (IRSP) as a hybrid practice involving direct interaction between a language professional and speech recognition software to produce live subtitles. This technique combines language transfer with the diamesic shift of subtitling, the immediacy factor of interpreting, and direct interaction with AI-driven technology. It is, therefore, a prime example of Multilectal Mediated Communication which requi…
Charting the landscape of remote medical interpreting: An international survey of interpreters working in remote modalities in healthcare services
Methodological explorations of interpreter-mediated interaction: Novel Insights From Multimodal Analysis
Research in Dialogue Interpreting (DI) has traditionally drawn on qualitative analysis of verbal behaviour to explore the complex dynamics of these 'triadic' exchanges. Less attention has been paid to interpreter-mediated interaction as a situated, embodied activity where resources other than talk (such as gaze, gestures, head and body movement, proxemics) play a central role in the co-construction of the communicative event. This article argues …
Embodied participation: What multimodal analysis can tell us about interpreter-mediated encounters in pedagogical settings
Participation in interpreter-mediated interaction: Shifting along a multidimensional continuum
Dynamics of Trusting in Translation Project Management: Leaps of Faith and Balancing Acts
This paper examines the work of project managers in two UK-based translation companies. Drawing on participant observation, interviews, and artifacts from field sites, our analysis focuses on the ways in which trust is developed and maintained in the relationships that project managers build, on the one hand, with the clients who commission them to undertake translation projects, and, on the other, with freelance translators who perform the trans…
Dialogue interpreting as intercultural mediation: Interpreters’ use of upgrading moves in parent–teacher meetings
Research on dialogue interpreting shows that interpreters do not simply convey speech content, but also perform crucial coordinating and mediating functions. This descriptive study, which is based on PhD research conducted at the University of Manchester, explores the activity of qualified dialogue interpreters in three video-recorded parent-teacher meetings involving immigrant mothers. English and Italian are the languages used, the meetings hav…
